Located in the Canadian High Arctic, Baffin Island is the fifth largest island in the world. In this land of the midnight sun and polar nights, where a handful of Inuit communities endure, you would find a hill named after a Bengali Major. Thread.

Baffin Island remains a largely untouched Arctic adventure destination, shaped by glacier-carved fjords, sheer coastal cliffs, and remote headlands that define its dramatic landscape.

Within this vast terrain, far beyond the usual routes, surrounded by wind, rock, and ice, Mount Sharat rises to about 1,600 feet (488 meters), located roughly 5 miles west of Bay of Two Rivers, near the shores of Frobisher Bay.

Hello Mr. Woods, (1/4)

I appreciate you engaging, sincerely. You're one of the few people in this space who actually responded, and your tone was decent. So I want to return the courtesy... and this is my first multi-part Hello.

You wrote: "Is any organized effort that involves people working from across the aisle necessarily a conspiracy?"

No. It isn't. And I haven't called it one. I've called it what it is: a funded, coordinated, strategically managed field.

Let me start with you.

You are the National Ambassador of Braver Angels. Braver Angels pulled in $5,651,273 in 2024, up from $958,681 in 2019... mostly from major foundations.

But your public videos repeatedly frame it as a "grassroots" or "national citizens" movement.

These two things cannot both be true. A $5.6 million-per-year operation funded predominantly by major foundations is not a grassroots citizens movement. It is a professionally managed nonprofit. There is nothing wrong with that... unless you describe it as something it isn't.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. And here's where I think you may genuinely not know the full picture.

In the above video clip, you say:

"We are in this moment where the depolarization movement I think is beginning to coalesce. I mean, I think you and I are in a position to sort of feel it. Braver Angels, Millennial Action Project, all of the amazing organizations in New Pluralists, National Conversations Project."

You named New Pluralists by name. So let's talk about what New Pluralists actually is.

In 2017, Mark Gerzon, president of the Mediators Foundation, consultant to the United Nations Development Programme, distinguished fellow at the EastWest Institute, organized a private meeting of major political funders at the Rockefeller Brothers Fund's Pocantico Conference Center. Representatives of both the Koch and Soros networks were in the room. The project was co-launched by Stephen Heintz, President of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Out of that meeting came the New Pluralists.

Today, New Pluralists is a funder collaborative, not a standalone nonprofit. It is fiscally sponsored by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Templeton, Hewlett, Einhorn, Fetzer, Klarman, Lubetzky, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund are all partners. MacKenzie Scott gave $4 million. The stated goal is $100 million over a decade.

Braver Angels is listed as one of approximately 60 "Field Builders." So is Tim Shriver's Dignity Index. So is Horizons Project. So is David French.

The same foundations that fund the New Pluralists collaborative also fund Braver Angels directly. Templeton gave $1.26 million to Braver Angels. Hewlett gave at least $75,000 plus undisclosed seed funding. They are also governing partners of New Pluralists. The money goes to the funder collaborative AND to the organizations the collaborative funds. It is the same pipeline.

You described this as "a moment where the depolarization movement is beginning to coalesce." New Pluralist's strategic plan describes it as a $100 million coordinated investment in field infrastructure. Both descriptions are accurate. The difference is yours sounds organic. Theirs sounds like what it is.

You wrote: "I do know Tim Shriver. He and I did a Braver Angels podcast together."

Good. Then you know who runs the Dignity Index.

The Dignity Index is operated by Project Unite. Its theoretical framework was developed by Donna Hicks, a Harvard specialist in international conflict resolution. Its framework was designed for mediating foreign wars. Then it was applied to scoring American political speech on a 1-8 contempt-to-dignity scale. In Utah. And it was piloted at UVU, the same campus where Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

One of the official websites to come out of the Biden White House's "United We Stand" summit was dignity[.]us. That URL now points to the Dignity Index.

Braver Angels has a formal partnership with the Dignity Index. You announced it. The pledge: "connect all 124 Braver Angels alliances" with Dignity Index training.

You wrote in your thread: "The Dignity Index, as I understand it, is meant to be a tool for holding all politicians accountable."

With respect... "as I understand it" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. The Dignity Index was built on a foreign conflict resolution framework, launched from a White House summit that identified populist movements as domestic threats, and piloted in the same Utah institutional ecosystem that was hosting MWEG conferences for three consecutive years at UVU. None of that requires a conspiracy. All of it is documented. Most of it is on their own websites.

Why I think @AvokoAI is the most needed “microscope” for Agent-Native products in 2026 👇

(And why I stopped trusting benchmarks…)

You don’t see why they happen.

I’ve personally been misled by benchmarks before.

Seattle's Hearing Examiner just blocked WinCo Foods from opening in the old Sam's Club at 13550 Aurora Ave N, a building that's been vacant since 2018. The SEPA appeal was filed by a group called "Lake Washington Working Families."

Sounds like concerned neighbors, right? Let's talk about a pattern. /1

https://x.com/minty_hawk/status/2044134232021446839

WinCo is the 2nd-largest employee-owned company in America. 145 stores across 10 states. 20,000+ employee-owners. Over 500 employee-owners are millionaires through the company's ESOP (employee stock ownership plan).

They sell groceries cheaper than Walmart. No credit cards. No frills. Bag your own. /2

There's one thing WinCo doesn't have: a UFCW contract.

The United Food and Commercial Workers union has been trying to organize WinCo for decades and failing. WinCo employees repeatedly decline unionization because they don't want to risk their ESOP.

So the UFCW adopted a different strategy: if you can't organize the workers, block the stores. /3

@Real_RobN There is a government fund that has been used to settle certain workplace disputes—including harassment cases.

The fund is tied to the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995, which governs workplace rights in Congress.
1)

@Real_RobN Claims by congressional staff (House or Senate) were handled through an internal process run by the Office of Compliance (now called the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights).
2)

@Real_RobN Settlements—including some related to harassment—were paid using U.S. Treasury funds, not directly out of a specific member’s personal account.

Because taxpayer money was used to pay settlements, critics argued it allowed members to avoid personal financial accountability.

In a self-computing reality, the "individual" is a localized concentration of that universal calculation. This leads to a few striking conclusions about how we operate:.

1. Agency as "Optimization"
​Instead of "free will" in the classical sense—which implies a soul standing outside of physics—agency becomes the system's ability to locally optimize.

When you make a decision, it is the universe’s recursive loop processing data through your specific hardware to find the most "natural" path forward.
​2. The Dissolution of the Programmer
​If the computer is computing itself, there is no "User" at the keyboard.

For decades, “neuroinflammaging”, the slow-burning inflammation that causes brain fog and memory decline, was considered an unavoidable part of getting older. However, a landmark study suggests the clock can be turned back.

Researchers developed a non-invasive nasal spray that uses microscopic “delivery parcels” to travel directly into the brain. With just two doses, the therapy dramatically reduced chronic inflammation, recharged cellular “power plants” (mitochondria), and restored memory and cognitive sharpness in aging models.

neurosciencenews.com/nasal-spray-re…

#neuroscience #brain #science (1/3)

Key Facts

Rapid & Lasting Results: Significant cognitive improvements were observed within weeks and, remarkably, persisted for months after only two doses.

Universal Efficacy: Unlike many medical studies that show varying results by sex, this therapy proved equally effective in both males and females.

Behavioral Recovery: Treated models showed a restored ability to recognize familiar objects and adapt to changes in their environment—key indicators of a healthy, functioning memory center.

Future Applications: Beyond aging, researchers believe this approach could be adapted to help stroke survivors rebuild lost function or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

Patent Pending: Texas A&M has already filed a U.S. patent for the therapy, signaling a major move toward real-world clinical application. (2/3)

Israeli espionage officials were approved by the Atomic Energy Commission to visit the exact uranium enrichment plant, NUMEC, in 1968 where hundreds of pounds of weapons-grade uranium disappeared, despite the CIA already investigating and finding evidence Israel had stolen it.

The visiting Israeli officials were:

• Avraham Hermoni, nuclear espionage chief of LAKAM and technical director of Israel’s nuclear weapons program

• Abraham Bendor, senior Shin Bet officer, (deputy director of Shin Bet covert operations, later became head of Shin Bet)

• Dr. Ephraim Biegun, Shin Bet technician/operative

• Rafi Eitan, who later ran LAKAM and handled the Jonathan Pollard Israeli spy operation against the United States.

NUMEC was run by Dr. Shapiro, a Jewish American Zionist who was an officer in the Zionist Organization of America, a constituent of the Israel lobby JFK demanded to register as a foreign agent. Shapiro had deep Israel government ties, had 51 FBI reports made about him, worked for the ADL, and was a close colleague of Ernest David Bergmann, who went on to become the father of the Israeli atomic bomb. The funding for NUMEC was arranged by David Lowenthal, a confidant of Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion and Haganah volunteer.

The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was chaired by Dr. Glenn Seaborg at the time visits from Israeli espionage officials were approved. Dr. Seaborg was a Jewish American scientist who helped cover up for NUMEC when the missing uranium was first detected, by telling the FBI there was no need for an investigation, despite the process and control records from that time being conveniently destroyed in an “employee strike.”

When the FBI and DOJ wanted to revoke Dr. Zalman Shapiro’s security clearances, (because of the missing weapons-grade uranium and Israeli government ties), Dr. Seaborg refused, as chairman of the AEC. The AEC had the final authority to revoke security clearances for people working at nuclear facilities like NUMEC. They overruled the FBI’s concerns and kept Shapiro’s clearance intact for years, even after the CIA had already found the U.S. isotope signature outside of Israel’s Dimona nuclear site.

In a now declassified private journal entry, Dr. Alan Seaborg later wrote: “What good would it have done if we admitted that highly enriched uranium was stolen and given to Israel?”

The uranium was being stolen from NUMEC during the exact time period that JFK was pressuring for unrestricted access to Israel’s nuclear program because he suspected they were making weapons and wanted to shut it down. The Zionist Organization of America that Dr. Zalman Shapiro was a national officer for was a constituent of the exact “American Zionist Council” Israel lobby register as a foreign agent after having them investigated by the DOJ.

JFK was kiIIed less than 5 months after giving Israel his final ultimatum about their nuclear program. Aside from being a huge supporter of Israel, LBJ’s aunt was an active member of the “Zionist Organization of America” Israel lobby that Zalman Shapiro worked for. After assuming office as president when JFK was kiIIed, LBJ ceased all pressure over Israel’s nuclear program, increased arms sales and military aid to Israel and quietly dropped the demand for the Israel lobby to register as a foreign agent.

Dr. Glenn Seaborg never once mentioned Shapiro’s deep Israeli government ties to the FBI after the AEC investigation into NUMEC losses, despite approving Israel espionage visits to the highly enriched uranium processing plant and refusing to revoke Shapiro’s security clearance.

nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/22145…

Dr. Seaborg inadvertently admitted that the isotopic signature of U.S. highly enriched uranium was found outside Israel’s nuclear plant in Dimona, as the greater than 96% enrichment was exclusively produced in Portsmouth, the exact type of enriched uranium that NUMEC processed.

This was revealed to him when he was confronted by Department of Energy officials for refusing to revoke Shapiro’s security clearance. *his note here is false and intentional obfuscation because the U.S. had never sold weapons-grade uranium to Israel.

info.publicintelligence.net/DOE-Uranium.pdf

The CIA samples documenting this exact isotope signature picked up by CIA station chief in Tel Aviv remain classified today, but this cross reference has publicly established the fact, which had already been verified by Dr. Roger Mattson, a nuclear scientist who had Q clearance when reviewing the NUMEC affair.

The @Guardian just ran a fawning profile of UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese – they even call her a “rockstar.”

In the opening scene, a Geneva café supposedly lines up for selfies. It reads like fan fiction, not journalism.

And it only gets worse. 🧵

2/
Borger gushes that Albanese is the first person with “UN” in her title to accuse Israel of genocide.
Translation: she used a UN platform to push a claim that doesn’t survive contact with facts.

Genocide means intent to destroy a people.
Israel fought Hamas, a terror group embedded among civilians, with evacuation warnings, aid facilitation, judicial oversight. Not genocide. War.

And on Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day?
The Guardian chose that moment to trivialize the word beyond recognition. The timing can only be deliberate.

3/
The piece paints Albanese as persecuted – hated by states, threatened, even sanctioned by the U.S.

But this isn’t about “choice of words.” It’s about a pattern:
– Justifying Oct. 7
– Support for terrorism
– Crossing from criticism into incitement

That’s why she’s been challenged. Take away her UN badge, and she’s just another terror apologist.

Yet Borger’s scandal isn’t what she’s said – it’s that anyone dares to notice.
